We were trying to go to the nearby Joe Dimaggio park but it was closed for renovation so we decided…read moreto rely on handy yelp to see if there was a place nearby that we could go get some slide action for our toddler. We found this playground through yelp and again have to say yelp delivers again! We would never have found this park without yelp because of the hidden location in a very residential street and up a hill. The park itself is so cute. It has a basketball court, a community garden (with a lemon tree), a playground with sand, and also bathrooms which I saw a SF rec person coming in to fill up paper towels and such. Because the park is so hidden, the whole time we were there there were only a few kids and adults making use of the park. What a beautiful little oasis in the city. Thanks SF Parks and Rec!

Lots of fun to be had with varying surfaces and structures to get all the wiggles out. It was pretty busy last weekend, but still didn't feel overcrowded. The play area overlooks Mountain Lake which is more like a pond, but still a nice view. Some (annoying) freeway noise can be heard, but I almost didn't notice it over all the squeals of delight.

The big kids elements are thoughtfully designed and encourage creative play, balance, and problem solving. The real highlight is the two-storey concrete slide, which I think is the best San Francisco has to offer! Parking is a little tricky and if you're coming by car you may have to walk a few blocks, but I think this is definitely the best playground on the entire north side of the city.

Cute little playground right by city hall. What's nice is that it's completely enclosed, although…read morethe enclosure isn't very tall. There are various types of swings, some with harness. There are tunnels and climbing structures, and a tall slide. There's also several benches for parents to sit. What I didn't find were homeless folks taking up the benches. The equipment looked modern and the kids really enjoyed it.

Beautiful park right in front of the beautiful San Francisco City Hall!…read more The fixtures are relatively new and on a pleasant afternoon, this park really shines. There are plenty of clean benches to rest on, a huge slide for the kids to ride down but only after climbing through the multi-layered rope structure, water fountains for hydration, swings for the younger crowd, and artificial turf and wooden steps for the leaping frogs. The whole park is secured with gate and at the time when we attended, there were security personnel at the entrance of the park. After a nice time in the city, this was a nice spot to exert any additional energy before the long ride home.

The greater park sits on top of a hill so it's a bit of a hike but well worth the walk. The surrounding architecture is beautiful and the views are really great.

Picnic tables right next to the playground, as well as grassy fields great for picnicing as well!

This is one of the many attractions in Pier 39. They have the flyer ride, they have a "7D…read moreexperience" which is like a "shooter" game on a giant screen, and then they also have two "escape rooms." Everybody who worked here was very. friendly. I did the flyer ride. It is about a seven or eight minute ride, It was a lot of fun. It's one of those where you sit in the seats, and then the floor drops out from under you, and it is like you are flying over the city. The wind blows in your face, and when you were going over the water, you feel just a little bit of a spray. I don't want to give anything away, but it does take you all over the city. It was really a lot of fun. The only reason I'm taking off a star, is because the flyer ride is a bit expensive. It's $14 per person, adult or child. That wasn't too bad for myself, but if you are more than two or three people, it can add up. Regardless, it was well worth the money for myself to do. I wouldn't ride the same ride again, but if they changed the movie, I would definitely ride it again. This ride is also part of the "San Francisco city pass." I had fun... Thanks.

An okay one-time tourist attraction…read more I didn't know this existed until I came here with my family this past weekend. It had been a while since I last visited Pier 39. We were showing my aunts and uncle around the city, so I thought this would be something fun to do with the family. We had 8 people, and it was $14 per person. After we got our tickets, we went up the escalators to the second floor and walked inside. There was no wait. We sat in the top row, and we could see the edge of the screen. If you have the option, I would recommend choosing the bottom row. Note, if you're super, super afraid of heights, this may not be for you. The guard rails go away and the platform slightly lowers during the ride. I'm afraid of heights but this was nothing for me. However, my two aunts told me they were gripping the handles tightly the entire time. The experience was really short, about 5 minutes or so. For the price, video quality, and duration, I wouldn't pay to do this again. Definitely not worth the $14 per person.

Although it is small, this is a nice thing to have for kids visiting Pier 39. There are things that I never would have appreciated before I became a parent, and this is one of them. Typically we stop here before heading home, giving my son some time to just play and run around before sitting in the car.
